No. The right one is "ISO-2022-JP", although the actual use of escape
sequences in this encoding is not completely compliant to ISO 2022 :-).
Also, in contrast to internet mail, where ISO-2022-JP is the only accepted
encoding, web pages frequently are in Shift-JIS or Japanese EUC (sorry,
don't know the correct identifiers for those), and so should be appropriately
labelled.
